In order to learn more, please answer these questions:

Do you have any other problems with your internet?
Are pages loading slower than normal?
Are you using Internet Explorer?

Hello Destroyrhawk.
Hope you're not actually planning to destroy any hawks.... ^_~

In addition to what NewYinzer mentioned, can you also let us know which virus program you used to run the scan, plus whether you've checked the security settings of your particular browser.

(If IE, the Security tab, or if checking whether pictures can be displayed, Internet Options>Advanced>Multimedia.)

You can also try purging your temporary internet files and cookies, in case it's an actual spyware program that's causing this anomaly.

If you don't have Ad-Aware SE, I'd recommend you get it and run a scan.  It should detect and clean most spyware, adware, trojans, worms, etc....

NewYinzer recommends:
-Shut Down Your Computer.
-Unplug the power to your modem.
-Plug the modem back in.
-Turn your computer back on.
-Do another scan of your computer.
-See if that helps.
Other suggestions:
-If you're not already doing so, use a safer browser, like Firefox or Opera.
-Download Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE.
-Buy Norton Internet Security 2006 for future protection.
-Do not to use Best Buy. They try to force McAfee Antivirus on you and price their services WAY TOO HIGH.

If the pictures don't load at all,
so you just get text,
then its a feature in the browser.

Try unplugging the modem, waiting thirty seconds, and plugging it back in. Sometimes that works.
